Brainstormer, Entrepreneur, Environmentalist, Event planner

I am a geophysicist with a focus on subsurface modelling and characterisation. I strongly desire to dedicate my career to continuous positive contributions to research and practice in these fields. It is my goal to use my expertise to innovate and provide solutions in this area and more importantly, to serve the public in a practical way. I am a Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), volunteer. I find interest in sensitizing the younger generation to ensure this section of the citizens become aware, can engage in and influence implementation and realization of the SDGs at community and local levels. I actively contribute to sharing local ideas from my community that are worth global spreading through the TEDx event I organize and curate. I am passionate about unearthing unheard voices. IN my community, I help in creating conversations on issues that are affecting my society with a focus on spotlighting relevant solutions to be proferred. I am also an entrepreneur. I co-founded a startup in Osogbo.

I am passionate about the development of the earth's resources to improve the livelihood of man. I love music and art, the environment, entrepreneurship, and volunteering.

Promoting human capital development at the grassroots will help in ensuring the sustainable development of our society. Also, education should be more than the four walls of the classrooms; there should be a practical link between knowledge acquired and an impactful contribution to society.

I have been following TED talks for some years. I found the ideas inspiring and have had a positive impact in shaping my thoughts and ideology. My first TEDx experience was TEDxOkumagbaAve in 2017 as an organizing Team member. I also have the opportunity to volunteer and attend TEDxLagos and TEDxYaba among other TEDx events. I am the organizer of TEDxOsogbo. My passion for idea sharing and love for development-focused conversations has made me actively give all to organizing and curating TEDxOsogbo in my community.
